Huawei Watch 3 Review | Active Model | One Month Later
1,792Reviewing the Huawei Watch 3 Active model, more affordable than the Pro and Classic with many of the best features, one month after unboxing it. My favourite smartwatch from Huawei in 2021 is still the GT 2 Pro, as the battery life here is much shorter and the app store is still immature. However, give it time and HarmonyOS may be bolstered by a great apps gallery - hopefully to prove a rival to Google and Samsung's One UI OS.
The design of the Huawei Watch 3 is certainly premium, even in this Active version. You've got a crisp and colourful OLED screen with a huge watch face selection and Always On Display support. That Harmony OS UI is easy to get to grips with and similar to older smartwatches like the GT 2 Pro, with all the usual tools. You even get a skin temperature sensor, plus over 100 exercises supported in the fitness tracking.
Check out my unboxing of the Huawei Watch 3 for a full tour of that UI and the various features.
